Strudwick farms

Strudwick farms

The Strudwicke families of Kirdford were prolific land owners, and between 1500 and 1700 farmed a large number of properties either as freehold or leased.

These are some of the Sussex farms I have come across that were in use by Strudwick families.

I have spent many hours browsing land transaction records at the A2A website, which has allowed me to identify the individual Strudwick family member that owned or leased many of these farms.

Here is an example of the sort of useful material that can be found on the A2A site.

As you can see this material provides a wealth of information, in terms of
both property ownership and family relationships.
This material will gradually also be incorporated here, but for the time
being I have just listed the property names, and will add the links as time
allows.
